Boeing Delivers Brazilian TAM Airlines First 777-300ER

EVERETT, Wash., Aug. 18, 2008 -- The first of eight 777-300ER jetliners ordered by TAM Airlines, Brazil's largest airline, left Paine Field for Sao Paulo yesterday. TAM is the first Latin American airline to operate the 777-300ER, the world's largest, long-range, twin-engine jetliner, powered by General Electric's GE-90 Series engines. The delivery also marks TAM's first acquisition of a new Boeing [NYSE: BA] airplane.

Now that's a good looking 777! To bad she won't be frequenting our neck of the woods :( I guess we can alway wish for an EQ swap.

That would explain why PT-MUA was not present at PAE this afternoon when I swung by. PT-MUB and PT-MUC are both still there.

It sure is a nice looking -300ER!
